What it means

Users and enterprise teams tracking ZKsync will notice that Prividium’s core code is now available under Apache 2.0, while the commercial enterprise tools remain in place. That means the change is in the code’s licensing, not in the availability of every enterprise feature.

In practice, the release shifts Prividium’s core code into an open license while leaving the enterprise tools commercial. What stays the same is that the enterprise layer is still not being opened in the same way as the core code.
